Public award description

THIS REQUISITION ENTRY IN CBIS AND PURCHASE ORDER ENTRY PRISM IS PAST THE SERVICE DATE DUE TO THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES. - CBIS USER ACCESS NOT FULLY GRANTED FOR PROGRAM STAFF - STILL WAITING FOR ADDITIONAL USER ACCESS - NO TOLERANCE LEVEL IN PRISM FOR TRAVEL RELATED EXPENSES. UNABLE TO MODIFY PURCHASE ORDER WITH ACTUAL EXPENSES, IF HIGHER THAN ESTIMATED IN ORIGINAL REQUISITION. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. - HEAVY WORKLOAD AND CURRENTLY NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES TO INPUT DATA RESULTING IN BACKLOG OF DATA ENTRY - USING MANUAL REQUISITION FORMS (WMDC GREEN FORMS) WITH APPROPRIATE SIGNATURES AHEAD OF DELIVERY DATE AS STATED IN THE FAR FOR BACKUP DOCUMENTATION FOR PROCUREMENT ACTION. THE LSN PROGRAM WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED AND DESIGNED AT THE WMDC OVER 9 YEARS AGO. THE TRAINING/FACILITATION TEAM COMPOSED OF AARON BROWN, CARROLLE RUSHFORD, MARIE MACTAVISH, AND JACKIE BERNING HAS SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED THIS PROGRAM AT THE WMDC FOR THE PAST 7+ YEARS, AT THE WMDC/EMDC. THEY ARE ALSO THE INDIVIDUALS WHO DESIGNED THE CURRENT PROGRAM CONTENT, MODULES, MATERIALS, ACTIVITIES, SIMULATIONS, ROLE-PLAYS, AND COACHING FOR THE LSN. THIS PRIMARY DESIGN OF THE LSN CONSISTENTLY RECEIVES PROGRAM RATINGS OF OVER 4.91, AND KNOWLEDGE GAINS OF 70%+. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTINUED TO REFINE AND UPDATE THE PROGRAM ON A REGULAR BASIS TO KEEP CURRENT. THIS DESIGN IS THE CURRICULUM APPROVED BY THE AMERICAN COUNCIL ON HIGHER EDUCATION (ACE) FOR 3 HOURS OF COLLEGE CREDIT WHICH MANY FEDERAL AGENCIES DESIRE OR REQUIRE. KNOWING THAT SICKNESS, EMERGENCIES, AND SCHEDULING ISSUES CAN OCCUR, ALTERNATE/BACK-UP TRAINER FACILITATORS HAVE ALSO BEEN IDENTIFIED TO SUBSTITUTE IF MEMBERS OF THE PRIMARY TEAM ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON A GIVEN DATE. THEY ARE ALSO LISTED BELOW. THIS TEAM (AND ALTERNATES) AND THE LSN PROGRAM DESIGN HAS CONSISTENTLY RECEIVED PROGRAM EVALUATION RATINGS OF 4.90 AND ABOVE, AND KNOWLEDGE GAINS OF 75% AND HIGHER. BASED ON THIS TEAM S PAST AND CURRENT SUCCESS OF DELIVERING THE LSN AT THE WMDC, THEY ARE CLEARLY THE MOST QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS TO DELIVER THE PROGRAMS FOR USOPM. THEIR RATE QUOTES ARE FAIR, COMPETITIVE, AND COST-EFFECTIVE. THEIR HONORARIA RATES, WHICH INCLUDE LOCAL TRAVEL AND ASSOCIATED MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES, ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. AARON BROWN OR JOE DELOY: $7980.00 + OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL COSTS 2. CARROLLE RUSHFORD OR CLAUDIA BUSCH LEE : $6300.00 3. MARIE MACTAVISH OR LANI DUARTE ROBBINS: $5600.00 4. JACKIE BERNING OR DEANN HEWETT: $1200.00 THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HIGH QUALITY, CONSISTENCY, ACE ACCREDITATION DESIGN, AND SUPERIOR DELIVERY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS IN FEDERAL AGENCIES, I RECOMMEND THAT THE SAME PRIMARY/ALTERNATE TEAM DELIVER THESE PROGRAMS AS STATED FOR THE ABOVE SPECIFIED PERIOD. ANY OTHER DECISION WOULD REDUCE QUALITY, INCREASE COSTS, DELAY DELIVERY DATES, FAIL TO MEET CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS, AND MARGINALIZE AN ALREADY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.
